			<p>The Center for Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI), associated with School of Information Science and  Engineering at Xiamen University, was founded in Jan. 2012. The center aims at establishing a research base on  pattern recognition, computer vision, and artificial intelligence, which is characteristic in openness, multiple- discipline crossing, and competitiveness. Current research directions mainly include computer vision and pattern  recognition, image and video process, object tracking and video surveillance, robust statistics and model fitting,  3D reconstruction, etc. </p>
			<p>Computer vision and pattern recognition (CVPR) have been substantially developed in decades and are attracting  growing attentions due to its wide applications in modern society for machine intelligence. The difficulties in  CVPR problems lies in large category set, unlabeled samples, the curse of dimensionality, feature extraction and  selection, complex environments, intricate relathionships, multiple contexts, etc. The center for PAMI is devoted  to developing robust and efficient methods to handle these issues in machine intelligence systems. </p>
